About this worksheet
A single-source study for Year 5 history. Page 1 shows a black-figure amphora from around 500 BC with four runners painted on its body, captioned as a modern picture based on Greek pottery. Pupils record what they see, think and wonder in a table, then answer three inference questions. One asks what the raised knees and arms say about the race. Another asks what prize jars of olive oil at the Panathenaic Games suggest about athletes. Page 3 turns to the limits of the source and to why fired clay survives when wood, leather and linen rot. It covers the England National Curriculum study of Ancient Greece and how we know about the past. Model answers fill the last two pages.
